This 24-year-young player was bought by Delhi Daredevils in 2016 and has been their consistent player since then. In 2018, he was trusted by the management and retained. He fulfilled their trust by scoring 128* runs in 63 balls making then the highest individual score by an Indian cricketer in IPL history but later was broken by KL Rahul.

In 2021, he was handed over the responsibility of captaining the team. He was impressive in his maiden tenure as a captain and made the team finish in 3rd spot.
